Kafka spent the last six years in the National Football League after being selected in the fourth-round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. During a four-year Wildcats career (2006-09) he set single-game records for both passing yards (532 vs. Auburn, 2010) and rushing yards by a quarterback (217 vs. Minnesota, 2008), and his 3,725 yards of total offense as a senior in 2009 stands as the No. 2 season in program history. A product of Chicago's St. Rita High School, Kafka earned a degree in communication studies from Northwestern. He will work with the Wildcats' offensive staff with a focus on wide receivers.
